I got an android equivalent of Airtag and a cat collar holder, thinking to check where my cat hangs out when he’s not home. Not on a regular basis, but to let him wear it a few times to get an idea if i ever have to look for him.
My cat doesn’t normally wear any collar, and this collar is a safety release one, so I’m a bit worried it may fall off in one of the neighbours garden, which would be embarrassing to retrieve.
Anyone with experience of using the Tags to track their cat?
I think they have limited range. There are more accurate trackers for farther distances but they are expensive, require subscriptions, and look bulkier because of the battery.
Air tags work via Bluetooth signal and are not as accurate. And only connect within Bluetooth range.
Cats belong indoors. That said, I also worry about the release on the collar. But I have been told by many many people to never use a solid collar for a cat. So I guess you’ll have to risk embarrassment for the tracking
I use airtags on my pets. Well, my fiance and my mom do. It works okay. It seems like they have a range and once they move from that it stops. I thought it was supposed to use other iPhones to relay off of but it didnt seem to. We had one of our cats get lost, showed her in the park, she wasnt there. Luckily someone found her and called us, she was across the neighborhood and the airtag didnt update until I was nearly home with her in my lap. So Idk. I think mileage may vary greatly. Cause this doesn’t seem to be everyone’s experience with them but it was mine.
How about simply not letting your cat outside without direct supervision? Would you like me to list all the ways your cat, that you apparently love, can die or become so hurt that you have to put them down to ease their suffering?
